Gran Vino de Guarda La Comtesse 2020
Descripción
"Una Comtesse honesta, de terruño". Así es como definen desde Pazo de Barrantes la añada 2022 de su blanco más refinado. Fruto de las viñas más viejas de la propiedad, ubicada en pleno Valle del Salnés, este vino fue concebido en tributo a la condesa gallega viuda de Creixell, y desde su primera cosecha ha buscado mostrar la increíble personalidad de la Albariño y la autenticidad su cuna. Increíble vino de guarda, se muestra complejo, sutil, sedoso y sumamente elegante con su eterno y ya clásico toque salino final.

Opinión de los críticos
The 2020 La Comtesse was produced with the Albariño grapes from a 1.4-hectare plot called Cacheiro, where they have their oldest vines (from 1965) that deliver lower yields. This has a slightly darker color, denoting its age. The juice from the pressing of the destemmed grapes fermented for 60 days in 3,000-liter oak vats, where the wine matured for 12 months, the first three with the lees, and then it was kept in concrete for a further 18 months, which is more time in concrete than in previous years. The wine is complex and subtle, very elegant, with notes of aged Albariño, mixing citrus fruit with notes of bay leaf and hay but no trace of oak. It's powerful, long and balanced, with the classical salty twist in the finish. It's silky, elegant and serious, still undeveloped but with more complexity and depth than its younger sibling from 2022 that I tasted next to it. It comes in at 13.5% alcohol, with a pH of 3.08 and 7.7 grams of acidity. 9,972 bottles and 723 magnums produced. It was bottled in June 2023. It will not be released until the end of 2025 or early 2026. (Luis Gutiérrez)
